Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 500 lbs. traded 8.00-12.00 higher with heavier weights trading 4.00-8.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. In spite of mostly lower cattle boards this week, last week's gains as well as fed cattle hitting the 140.00 mark has increased optimism in the feeder cattle cash market.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Missouri auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
